  The Spinneys is a large, comfortable space for 4 adults.

  It’s well located for easy access to town and has good recycling facilities (which seems to be rare with Lakelovers properties). The kitchen has a good level of utensils. It really does need updating though… I slept terribly on an awful 50-60mm layer of foam mattress protection, with an awful plastic topper. I removed it in the end, to sleep on the actual mattress. The bathrooms all need updating - there’s only one decent shower, the other two are electric, which don’t work if they are in use at the same time. The kitchen only has a small under-counter fridge… too small for food and booze, and the same size freezer that we didn’t used. The kitchen is covered in little ‘warning’ labels from the owner that are really irritating… one little box has 3 labels on it saying ‘do not turn off’… the washing machine must have 10+ labels on it!! Requesting ‘quick washes only’… it’s not welcoming. Two good quality ovens are great, and the electric hob is fine. Kitchen would benefit from a few trays, for TV dinners and some new chopping boards. A new kitchen is really needed, as well as the bathrooms - so some serious cashes needs to be dropped for 4/5 stars. There’s no outside space that’s really useable, just a front and back balcony area that’s in the shade all day - and the steps up to the property are very slippy in the wet on account of mould growth. We don’t regret staying at the Spinneys, we had a pleasant stay but probably won’t stay again - there are just far superior options.

  Good points: Well equipped, spacious, great location, onsite parking.

  Not so good points: Toilets and bathrooms were generally not clean on arrival. The baths had not been wiped around and the loos had not been properly cleaned (under the seats, rims etc) we contacted Tracy and she came in the next morning and cleaned them, she apologised profusely. However the baths were still not done after this was rectified. One ensuite the shower couldn't be used due to the fan being broken so dirty water streaks were all down the walls. We didn't expect to have to strip beds before we left, prior warning at the time of booking would have been appreciated for this, as leaving early morning for a long drive home was marred by stripping all the beds which to be frank should be included in the housekeeping when you pay a premium for a nice property and get away from household chores in holiday. The pub deliveries were very noisy in the early hours most days including the bottle emptying at 5.30am which wasn't great. The TV channels were a little sporadic but we managed to watch most of Wimbledon! Generally we had a lovely stay in the house. Would we visit again to the same property? unfortunately not, house keeping issues I'm afraid put us off and the noise from the pub deliveries were frustrating as we like to go away to not have to be woken at the crack of dawn and/or to be stripping beds and cleaning our loos!

  Great property for 7 of us across three generations plus one pooch.

  The property was spacious and really comfortable with good parking for our three cars and for us was an excellent location with a 15 minute walk to the marina and a further 15 to 20 minutes into Bowness. The views are great and luckily the forecast rain didn't arrive so we able to sit out in the sun trap patio at the front of the house. Immediate area is quiet and peaceful - car is essential. Just a couple of comments which are in the spirit of making the experience at Storrs even better. Towels - a bit thin and small and not enough bath towels for all of us. General waste is collected every other week and outside bin was full when we arrived - it would be good to have a collection dates listed in the property information. It would also be good to have a sketch of the garden that belongs to the property as we were unsure whether the lawned area behind the property's fenced rear garden could be used. These are not complaints but meant to be helpful. Overall a really great stay.

  Fantastic week at prospect House!

  It was a wonderful home from home to celebrate a 70th Birthday along with 3 generations of family. Everything in the house was perfect and the highlights were the cinema room and espresso machine! Fantastic walks; Catbells, Wray Castle, Wansfell Pike and an amazing sunrise at Todd’s Cragg Places to eat; Apple pie cafe (delish breakfasts and freshly baked goods), Luigi’s, Priest Hole (Sunday lunch), Doi Intanon Thai), Tap Yard (nice food/drinks but awful service), many visits to the Golden Rule and lastly but by no means least, Taco Sol for the best burritos, tequila and frozen margs! Thanks so much to Jo for allowing us to stay in this stunning home. She was super helpful and responsive and we would deffo return. (Sorry for the delay in my review but I thought I’d already done it
